Audison SR1Dk output driver card, no High-side output

There is no signal, just a -DC voltage (probes in 10x)

On LM319 Pin12 -625mv
On the input via from the driver board 100mV

There are no drives/cycles without RCA signal, only on Pin5.

It appears that there is something that's causing the voltage on pin 5 to have offset. I've run it through a simulator. Compare the waveforms to your amp. Do you see significant offset on any other terminals?

Ignore the LM339. The software wouldn't run the 319.

Oh wow, thank you very much for the effort Perry. I really appreciate it 🙂

I was probing around to seek for DC offset causings, but Pin5 seems to be very healthy, nothing has strange readings and it seems to function properly.
I found out the secondary GND is at 4.6v referenced to PS GND.
LM319 Pin5 reads close to 0V when I DC measure with my multimeter between secondary GND and LM319 Pin5.

Should I solder my oscilloscopes reference GND to secondary GND and make new photo's?
I expect LM319 Pin4 to have a negative offset in this case.
 
Resistor RK is not connected between secondary and PS GND.
I referenced the scope to secondary GND.

Photo 1 is Pin5 with signal
Photo 2 is Pin4 with signal
Photo 3 is Pin12 with signal
Photo 4 is Pin5 without signal
Photo 5 is Pin4 without signal
Photo 6 is Pin12 without signal

This seems to make more sense, and doesn't look too bad I suppose. Pin12 is pulled down to -VCC without signal, and has a clean square wave with DC right at GND.

The optocouplers from the driver board were OK, the SMBTA92 driver transistor on the driver board has been changed after the crash.
Resistors have been checked.

This is a photo from the driver board INPUT via.
With and without RCA signal.

The pull-up resistor R162 reads fine, as well as R161

Ahhhaaaa, so that is what IC16 does partially.
I learned a lot from this repair, the troubleshooting and feedback loop, but also the exact creation of a triangle/square waveform.
I don't really directly see in the schematics how soldering Pin1 and Pin2 together makes the output switching go really fast, but I try to understand it later.

On the input via is not directly a triangle wave, but a high frequency switching.
